Jason, I have a question. Is the world I experience a projection of my mind? I ask this because I take a big interest in current events, eg the pandemic, US politics, climate change, the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The world seems to be on a downward spiral. So 2 questions really...
1. Is all this just a projection of my own mind and if I developed a peaceful mind, all these events would resolve as well, and
2. If the events we experience are a projection, is their purpose to have us cut through/resolve our conditioning and in doing so, awaken us to the nature of reality and our true nature.
Would you consider doing a video on these questions or if not, any clarity you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your videos. I've found them to be very helpful.
I don't have enough words to appreciate how jason has understood the sanatani philosophy, even Indians lack it due to attachment to materialism & mimicking the west, I bow down to your wisdom jason, I hope you be able to spread the wisdom of truth to maximum number of people, om shaanti 🙏🙏🙏
I've spent the past 49 years trapped in the manufactured suffering of my own mind. I came across your TH-cam channel a few months ago. It's changed my life. I even downloaded - Effortless Living and Fasting of the Mind, as audiobooks. I don't know where my life is heading. But I'm looking forward to the journey along this path/way.
Thank you for your wonderful message, Ben. It truly means a lot brother. I'm just so glad my channel ahs had a positive impact on your life. Only love for you, my friend.
@@JasonGregoryAuthor I've created for myself so much stress, anxiety and the most unhealthy emotional entanglements. That I was literally killing myself inside. Your channel has actually saved my life. Your audiobooks: Effortless Living and Fasting the Mind, together have pulled me back from the edge. Thank you!
I needed this today. Letting go can be so hard sometimes. It's like the old saying: "We plan~God laughs". Thank you dear Jason. ☯
Jason I genuinely appreciate your blend of common sense and eastern wisdom.
Complete Surrender unto "THAT".❤
Absolutely spot on! I have been practicing Tibetan Buddhism - Buddha psychology - our mind is so polluted! Once we realise our own thoughts, our attachments you start realising your inner self. Also about letting go, such an understatement! It’s such a beautiful feeling to let go, not grasping on to life - life never goes to how we plan!
Dear Jason, thank you so much for this lesson. This is exactly what I needed to hear after a highly stressful week, experiencing many obstacles. My mind is still constantly shifting between illusion and reality. It is really like a switch between war and peace. Now that I have watched your video, I am back to peace again. Sending you lots of love from this place. 🙏
"Abide as pure awereness", that's the key.
When there are no preferences nor adversions, there is no discrimination.
When there is no discrimination, there is no Maya.
When there is no Maya, there is no world nor I.
Only awareness remains, being as always is.
Yes indeed, but with our existence, is it necessary that we always reduce ourselves to only pure awareness? I mean is there a particular reason why we're experiencing life on earth? And if we are pure awareness then can we just come or go as we please? Just some valid questions. Trust me I experienced being in fully present as pure awareness after I started meditation and it's beautiful, I learned to just be fully present and that there is no urgency to do anything or to get anything done. Everything does indeed take care of itself and we are to flow with that. Everybody tries to add all this stuff to life and the meaning of life and the way society is just creates so much suffering. Imagine if everybody just remained a present as pure awareness how different this world would be
@@Jay_Kayy Very valid questions, indeed. A short answer could be: why not? If remaining as pure awereness is our true nature, it is not something that we NEED to do, it is just how we are. If we are pure awareness, we cannot also be the "doer", we are at most "observers". Even if the body is doing something, I remain still, because I'm not the body. I remain inactive even if the body-mind is active. Free from the feeling "I am the body" or "I am the doer", the body-mind is free from the need "to be" or "to do" and therefore it is more open to the inherent harmony of nature, which is the intelligence that created it. So, let the body-mind do whatever it feel from the flow of life and just be as you are.
Och Jason, what about our type of people, living life in the West and in the East, being a member of both families, cultures, standing on two legs here and there, as Rinpoche Tai Situpa told me. We seem to carry "the empty vessel" of Easter wisdom to cool down the boiling pot of Western impatience and insecurities. I admire how you balance walking on the line between doing and being. Wishing all outsiders best of strength and blessings❤
I just love the synchronicities in my life that deliver the perfect content for me at the perfect time. Thanks Jason.
Great video. This is why we have to do our own inner work and change the projections we try to spew outside.
When your inner world is peaceful and abundant with wisdom the outside is going to follow.
Ur channel is helping us a lot... thanxxx
You really hit the nail on the head with this short video Jason. There are a lot of interpretations of this subject, and it can be confusing. You explained it in an easy to understand and clear way. Thank you Brother 👍🙏
Gratitude 🙏 thank you for another excellent video
Thank you!
Bang! This is useful!
Than you Jason
Reminds me of 'pure vision' of Buddha. Thank you.🙏
We think life needs to be a certain way which is only a projection. Let go and let life be as it will. Abide as the awareness.
Thanks so much Jason. Essential reminder... #truth
One of the best videos ! Thank you 🙏🏻
When you have faith the worl is your oyster.
Thank you so much Jason. Needed this right now as I had been in a terrible string of bad luck. Thankfully I have pulled out of it... by letting go and allowing it to come through and go.
So true, thank you Jason, so happy and grateful I found you!
Marvellous
this was a great jason gregory video .thank you so much!
Thank you again for this reminder! Needed it today (& many other days!). Thank you!!!! Thanking Tao, Brahman....for working through you Jason to bring this to us!
Duḥkha is ripe in this world, thank you for the amazing content Jason! 🕉😇
How refreshing: a guru/teacher with an absence of ego, clearly genuine & sincere
Thank you Jason. I exhale (sigh), with the weight i impose on my self.
thank you❤ i am reminded of Ram Dass-
" I can do nothing for you but work on myself...you can do nothing for me but work on yourself!"
Thank you.
Jason I absolutely love every video of you but i do have to say that these shorter videos are easier to follow, i also love your longer podcasts don’t get me wrong but sometimes it feels too long to watch and my focus goes down hill and that’s a shame because every video of you is very meaningful to me :)
Thank you for speaking about Maya and projection.
Yes, our human, social, political, and geo goals bring up a great deal of pain for all of us. Our minds have been brainwashed, destroying magnificent opportunities that now stand wasted by the illusory standard. Alas!
Wise words. 🙏
if there really is an ultimate reality we can never experience it because the only instrument we have is thought.
Jason I am at a bit of a stumbling block - I understand or at least I think I do, about being everything we want to be already, that we are part of the great consciousness we are the atman spiritually aware and blessed, but by being born into this world we develop traits and habits that take us from the spiritual beings we already are. If that be the case, why do we come here to be born and in doing so, corrupt our spirituality?
Letting go is something i’ve always been good in, thank god hahaha
Would you say maya is the perception of reality filtered only through the 5 senses and the ego with the intention of what is the benefit for me, the individual?
Maya is the constructed reality our brain constructs to believe... To be relevant...
Life isnt about us. That does it for me👍
I guess I have to accept being torched for 6 straight years as "reality" and that it shouldn't have been any different and that I should have been tortured to near death for those 6 years.
Love you
Maya is what is perceived and experienced by the body using our senses. Once you realises that the entire creation is by a Supreme one who is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient how can anybody entertain a question to seek an answer. ?

The world is perfect the way it is, it is not about humans at all, suffering is needed for the creation itself to succeed! Embrace the darkness!
No, suffering is not needed for the world to succeed. Suffering is caused by the illusions that humans entertain. There's no actual suffering in nature as everything is as it should be in its abundance. Yeah animals feast off each other but nature itself does not suffer so it can succeed. Nature just is, its not forced, it just flows in perfect rhythm with the universe. Suffering happens when your not in alignment and in perfect rhythm with the universe. It's better to just let go and flow. I'm not trying to correct you by the way, this is just what I've learned from listening to Jason so I wanted to throw my two cents in this comment. But whatever is right for you is what's right for you and whatever you experience is your experience and nobody can take that away from you. I highly respect your comment. Much love to you
@@Jay_Kayy much love back... what i am trying to do is to take it a step further... human wishes and understandings are unimportant compared to the whole of creation.. that is my point in why it is perfect in the way everything has to be now, if the whole world gets enlightment, then that is perfect for that point in time to be.... sending some kind of love back, to many meanings behind the word love to be able to use it properly.. but i try my love to be a like you... we are all equal! We are not our body!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Jason I'm unemployed in the west been so after being fired last month. I feel this constant pressure to find work but as I'm applying to jobs I keep facing rejection after rejection. I feel guilty for not having a job how can I apply this to my situation so I can be better.
If I could anchor my awareness in the present moment and continually observe my thoughts and stories as unimportant distractions would this be a good place to begin a more peaceful existence?
Yes 💕
Society, culture and the individual are broken and at a dead end….and most people don’t know what to do. Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, and LaoTzu saw humans fall from grace over 2,000 years ago, and these four wise cats laid out the SAME blueprint for humanity to help save them from their stupidity. Things have not changed- we are still falling. Now you say what they said and all you get from people is a shrug of their shoulders, apathy, and ignorance. It’s long past time to wake up (and I’m not talking about the ‘woke’ left- they’ve become obedient and programmed.)The left quit questioning authority a long time ago once they became “the man.”
P.S. Nagargarma impersonated a physician, a medical doctor at a local County Hospital.
I have a question. Is there any possible way that a person who uses a lot of dmt could they possibly through dark magic or jumping timelines etc take part of a person destiny. I don't know if that makes sense.
If you know yourself there is nothing going wrong or right!!! There is no time and movement!! The mind is the creator of time and give the illusion of movement of past, present and future!! Illusion is born and that we call Maya!!!!!!
🕉🙏🙏🙏
What if everything is going on perfect, should I watch this?
Maya in Sanskrit means differently in Nepal and India. In India it means illusion, but in Nepal it means love.
Not really. In Maharashtra, which is in the heart of India, Maya still means love. The meaning of sanskrit words are contextual.
It's been said, The ego is not your amigo.
Food for thought: Imagine if, for a moment, all people said: I won’t work anymore for any reason. I let it go. All become monks and pray 🙏 meditate. No more children are born, and in this process, human life as we know it ends because there is no reason to be alive. If the journey is to be, focused on the present and let go of all material forms and behaviours, what good does it bring? Liberation is a sense of freedom, but the truth in this eternal journey is silence and emptiness. I find the human experience a moment of nothing that leads to nothing because what you gain from it is the awakening into nothing and empty. There is no need to fight, build, have, own, control, experience, talk, see, eat, touch, hear and even love one another because once awakened, we learn what IS and for a brief gentle instance, we get to merge with nothingness, and we Become. Wow, what a splendidly terrifying moment that stretches consciousness through the infinite and beyond, and that's when we know we Are.
we also may experience that oneness and have that remembrance and then decide that our life is the experience that we, The Collective (The Divine) want. we choose it because we are "That"
You defining what maya is defies the point you are trying to make.
Nope, not at all. Your comment is quite strange. I have defined Maya in plenty of my videos and that is how it is defined and how it has been taught for thousands of years. That is how I was taught and how I have been teaching for 15 years. Language is used a frame of reference to help people understand, a scaffolding. Remember, this channel is about exploring the depth of Eastern spirituality and most people here are adults so we can speak about such things without being triggered by the most minute things. I hope that solves your confusion because I will continue to define Maya in many more videos and not care what others think. The knowledge is what is important.
Yes, and objectifying the part of the tree which hangs off of the tips of the branches by calling it an apple, is conditioning humanity to enter into judgement. Or, an easy way to find food.
Phuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. It’s like ripping off a band aid or pulling a tooth. Thank you. Your words are the Tao flowing. No point trying to swim or sink. Just float and the rocks we bang into are markers on our map. Neither good nor bad.
Can someone help unravel this for me. I'm torn between these teachings and that of manifestation. Neville gaoddards work and others claim that there is no objective reality only subjective. We have the power to create out own reality but should we be doing that or shoud we be letting the universe take its natural course?
I believe it's difficult for westerners to let go because we've been conditioned to believe that, without the interference of just and moral humans, reality is incredibly harsh, horrible and meaningless. This distrust of nature and spontaneity is very hard to unlearn.
good point
It's not eastern philosophy it's Indian philosophy.
Would you say that a poor indebted Indian farmer is a peaceful vessel and that he doesn't envy the Europeans for their fights against social injustice during the last 150 years? Perhaps he enjoys being misused and cheated....but I don't think so.
